sons Why

Postponed until June of Next HeAr-Rea-
sons why.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, April AT a
meeting held here last night at which
prominent citizens and military officers
participated, the following resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, The impression is sought to
be created throughout the county that
the Interstate Drill to be held in this
this city in June next under the
auspices of the citizens of MOntgom-
cry had its inception in mercenary mo-
tives, to injure the success of the Wash
ingtOn drill; and
WHEREAS, The action of our military
companies in withdrawing from that
drill was in accordance with our wishes
and in the exercise of their undOubted
right to choose their associates in vOlun-
tary military gatherings without any
wish or purpose to injure others, who
differed from them, and
WHEREAS, We are unwilling to give
color even to the false accusation that
the action of our people, taken from a
high sense of duty, was due to any de-
sire to iujure or interfere with the Ma
tional Drill at Washington; therefore,
Resolved. That tine drill to be held in this
city in June next, be postponed until
May, 1888.
Resolved, That the management con-
tinue their work of preparation for drill
in May, 1888, refunding all cash sub
scriptions, when the subscribers do not
wish to renew them for the drill next
year.
A sufficient sum of money had been
guaranteed to make the drill a success
and the attendance of leading Southern
companies had been assured.

ARAILROAD GROwL-
Ohjeetions to the Action Of the Inter
state Com mission.


PHILADELPHIA, April THE general
opinion among railroad officials in this
CITY is that the action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the long and
short haul question concerning Southern
railroads will crush the entire measure.
They agree that this is the most vital
feature of the entire act and the stand
taken by the commission, even though
it be of temporary nature, is the en-
tering wedge that will split the
whole :lOg. There is not a railroad
of any consequence in the entire coun-
try" said prominent railroad executive
official to-day. that will not make the
same claim as that cOntended for
by Southern lines and the Justice
of their claim cannot fail to be recOgniz-
ed. Here, in almost the first act of the
commission they arrange against them
every railroad that has Immediately OF
remotely a water route as a competitor
and further than this they have taken
such a position as will unsettle the com
mercial affairs of the country for three
months or more.

Death to Ticket Brokers.

CHICAGO, April 1.-NOwhere else in
Chicago has the Interstate Commerce
law caused so much CONSERVATION as on
Clark street. There are located nearly
all of the leading ticket brokers. We
are knocked out completely" said one
scalper, to-day, ''all we can do is to sell
out what We have on hand and go out
of business.
The penalties of the new law are so
great that we would be unable to get any
tickets without stealing them" Another
leading broker said: I'VE have no Bos-
ton or New York tickets on hand. Those
We have are principally for Western
points and will soon be gone. l think a
few legitimate brokers, such as belong
to the Guarantee Association, will try to
hold their places with the hope that the
next Congress- will modify the bill.

The Chicago Carpenters' strike.

CHICAGO. April THE striking car
penters met at noon to-day, and by a
unanimous vote rejected the proposition
made by the bosses. and reafiirmed their
demand for thirty-five cents an hour
pay, and full recognition of the Carpen-
ters' Council as a body OF organized
labor. The proposition Of the employers
was to cOncede eight hours and make
thirty cents an hour the minimum pay.
with grades above. but not to recognize
anything but the individual rights of
the men.
All Union carpenters in Hyde Park to
the number of 900, struck at noon to-day

the rate was raised from % to 81 cents

MONTE CARLO, April "A heavy land
slide occurred here to-day. Immense
now entirely block the railway and car
riage road. Trains from Cannes and
Mentone, well loaded with tourists. had
narrow escapes from destruction. getting
over the tracks just in time TO avoid an
initiation. The fall is so great that it
will stop all railway communication with
Monte Carlo for at least twenty-four
hours. The land slide is supposed to be
an after effect of the late great earth
quake.

INTERNATIONAL QUESTIONS.
The Cabinet Discusses the Canadian Fisl
cries and Other Subjects.

The Cabinet Discusses the Canadian Fish-
cries and Other Subjects.
WASHINGTON, April THE Cabinet
met at IL O'Clock to-day in accordance
with the plan for summer months. and
meeting was devoted almost entirely to
consideration of international ques-
tiOns, the most important relating to the
Canadian fisheries, the policy Of Great
Britain in regard to the island Of Hayti
and the seal fisheries of Alaska
In regard to the fisheries question, it
is understood that information has been
received to the effect that England stands
on the position taken by Canadian au-
thorities, and is in no wise disposed to
make the concessions requested by this
Government. This question was cOnsid-
cred by the Cabinet with a view TO the
advisability of suitable action by the
President under the provisions of the
RetaliatOry Act
The alleged demand of Great Britain
for the possession of the Tortugas Islands
or the payment by the Haytian Govern
ment of 81 900. 900 in settlement of old
claims was considered at some length.
The United States has great interests in
Hayti. commercial and otherwise. and
are deeply concerned in its welfare and
prosperity Correspondence will be
opened with England on this subject.
The Alaska seal fisheries were dis
cussed with a view to their better pro-
lection from foreign interference. 1t is
represented that our interests are now
threatened by wholesale slaughter of the
seals in the open ocean 1t seems
that during the day female seals leave
their young on the shores of islands IN
charge of the males while they go miles
away in search of food with which they
return at night. Recently the practice
has sprung up of catching the female
seals while they are in search of food.
Their young perish. as a matter OF
course. and the perpetuation of the
animal is endangered. The difficulty of
controlling this matter arises from the
alleged want of jurisdiction of our Gov
ernment over these waters beyond the
three mile limit The question will bs
again considered at future meeting.
